Thu has been my nail technician for about a year now, and she's the absolute best I've ever had. I switched from acrylic to gel builder, and I've never had my nails look this long before. Acrylic nails usually thin out, and I don't like the feeling of them. Gel builder is more durable, lighter, and lasts longer.
Friendly, attentive service. I had one reference photo and was very impressed by the execution. I think Thun was very professional and did a good job of checking in to make sure everything was looking like I wanted it to look. Pedicure was also good. They used a color changing gel polish which was a little crazy, but definitely made for a funny story. Would return!
I've stopped coming to this salon because I noticed that my nails were becoming more thin and weak. I used to get dip nails with tips because I cook and clean often at home and my natural nails (free edge) would always tear. I would get them done as a way to strengthen them/avoid pain, more so than for looks. I noticed over time my natural nails becoming weaker and thinner. I think this is likely due to the preparation and removal methods (extensive filing and peeling off old dip/tips with a spare tip to reduce soak off time). I get that they're a staff of two and can get quite busy (though I always called ahead for an appointment) but after I experienced a very painful split halfway through my nail bed, I decided to take a break and let my nails rest. That was a while ago and now my nails have fully grown out since the damage and are surprisingly healthy and strong. I've also changed up my nail care: - "nails are jewels, not tools"; trying to avoid using my nails for peeling labels, opening things, etc. - using jojoba oil on my cuticles at least once a day I've done more research on different types of nail services and am going to try Japanese gel and Apres Gel X in the future at a different salon, rather than dip.
This place was amazing!! Super affordable, ladies are super nice, and very high attention to detail!! They are so sweet and kind and my original nail length was uneven and they were able to even it out and make it look beautiful !! Definitely my new go to nail salon.
My girls killed it!! First time here but 10/10 would recommend! They pay attention to detail like no other. (These cost $50 and were a full acrylic set )
They do an amazing job! I have been going here for the past year and am very satisfied. They do a clean job and really listen to what you want.
Don't come here. I saw the gooreviews on yelp and tried calling for an appointment and no one got back to me after 3 calls. I walked in and one of the women took me (not the owner). Here's where things went wrong: She cut two of my fingers while trimming my cuticles. I asked for a gel manicure with white polish. The polish application was sloppy, and when I pointed it out - BEFORE putting my hand under the LED light, she told me to cute the polish and she would clean after. You can't clean after without cutting or filing once the Polish is cured. I listened to her and cured the polish and of course it looked terrible and she couldn't fix it once cured. So I told her I was unhappy with it and she took off all the polish with the drill, burned two of my finger nails in the process. I asked for a different technician and another girl came out and did my nails. She also did a mediocre job, and after the nails on my left hand didn't cure properly and the base coat was lumpy, she used the drill to sand down one nail and just painted the white polish thickly over the other nails to try and cover it up. The owner saw that I was unhappy and that the quality of the work was terrible. She took $5 off my bill and threw in a 5 min massage. Today I have an infection in the cuticle that the first technician cut and nails that look like they were painted by a toddler. Avoid this place and go anywhere else.
Shout out to my nail Tech, Thu! She is very sweet and pays attention to details. I am very happy with my nails, as far as the overall esthetic and execution. However, I do want to give an honest review as to why I didn't give the place 5 stars.... 1) They share tools between clients and don't disinfect anything which is unhygienic. Every single tool used on my nails was either being borrowed from an adjacent customer, or had the tell-tale chalky appearance that it was previously used and not cleaned. There's nail debris all over the tools, countertop, etc. As soon as you walk in, this is apparent. 2) There is a tv playing one this and loud music coming from a different source. The noise can be distracting at best. If those two things were resolved. This can honestly be one of the top nail salons in this part of the city.
Sarah's Nails is the ONLY place I will go in Seattle to get my nails done. The family that runs the business is incredible and always makes everyone feel welcome. They can do any design or style you could dream of and are very high quality.
I have so many good things to say about this place. It's a small shop so call ahead to check availability. They are punctual and honest about wait times and take appointments seriously. I got dip nails per recommendation and i love them so much. The technician took her time to file and shape my nails which I really appreciated. Really showcased her skills and I am really happy with the nail shape and color. She took her time and I didn't feel rushed. Great quality and would 100% recommend.
Loved my experience here! Being new to an area is scary because it means you have to find your new favorite salons. Decided to try out Sarah's because they had great reviews and are conveniently located to where I work. Tips: - Bring a mask - it's required! - For the smoothest experience, please call ahead to make an appointment!! So many people attempted walk-ins, but with only 2 nail techs staffed on a Friday at noon, they are constantly trying to tetris people in to their handwritten calendar. Be courteous and call ahead to make an appointment! - Bring cash, but card is accepted too. If paying with card, be prepared to verbally confirm how much tip you'd like to leave. Thu is very skilled, professional, and careful. I showed a few pictures of what I had in mind, and she absolutely slayed the smoothness and fine lines in the designs with her steady hand. She will recommend services that are in the best interest of your nail health. Salon is clean and you can see the tool sanitation station and they wipe down the stations in between use. They really make use of that small space - note that it is smaller and cozier than midsize salons, but I felt the price overall was very reasonable for the experience and quality of service. Will be back!
I had the best experience here! My dip nails lasted three weeks with no chips. I only got them redone to change the color. Highly recommend coming here! The owners daughter (Sarah) is adorable. I'll be back!
Stopped in for a shellac mani and regular pedi since I live nearby. They took me as a walk-in right away, which was great, but the space is pretty shabby, and I'm not convinced it's the cleanest. The staff were sweet and quiet, which I didn't mind My pedicure turned out great, but my gel manicure was rough - it was still tacky hours later, and had a messy streak on my thumb that I didn't notice until I got home. It turns out that my nail beds had taken a beating as well - two toes and a finger had small cuts to heal from being pushed too far from the finger. I did see the owner doing another appointment that looked fantastic, and they fixed another girl's peeling dip nails for free, but the fact that her dip peeled after one day makes me think the quality here is hit-or-miss. Convenient location, but I wouldn't go back. read more

Sad to only give this place 2 stars but the lady doing my gel manicure clearly did not know how to make the Cat Eye design, see photos. Thankfully I only asked for two fingers but now both of those fingers just look like glitter. On top of everything else, it was the wrong glitter color I asked for too :( I probably would come back to this place because there was no wait for a walk in, but only for a simple mani/pedi. Or to get a full set of gel X with designs since it looks like they do a good job at that. read more

Avoid this place. I wanted to give this place a try since it's close to my house. Big mistake! I wanted cat eye on my nails and they gave me some weird glitter nails, covered with what was supposed to look like cat eye but ended up looking like a line straight across all my nails in the same direction. When I asked for her to alter the finish so each nail did not look identical she just ignored me and seemed bothered by my request. Place is shabby, electrical cords hanging all over the place. Not sure who is rating this place so highly but there are far better places to get your nails done. read more

Price is reasonable! Definitely give this a try if you come through first hill. It's a small space; make an appointment to work with your schedule and theirs. read more

Happy with how my nails turned out! I had a great experience and service was excellent. My toe nails are not in great shape from skiing, one fell off actually. And she fixed it by putting a fake nail on top! Now no one can tell :) I think the owner and the other ladies were really sweet. I don't get my nails done ever because I know they would break with all the things I do, but it's my bday tomorrow! My experience was so pleasant, I would consider getting my nails done here more regularly. read more

adding more photos :) i love how they are open to trying new things for me. again i think if you have 1 bad experience that doesnt mean the place is bad. ive had sets here that i wasnt a fan of or the shape was off.. these are humans that aren't perfect. but overall this place gives consistently good results. I also am basing this off acrylic sets with gel polish read more

I've been driving by and the nail shop caught my eye. I called late morning and was able to get in. The attention Thu spends on getting the shape and thickness just precise is great. Not rushed. She loves what she does and is a joy to chat with. You'll be happy you stopped by. read more

Love this salon. I went for the first time today. They were a bit behind schedule but it was worth the wait! The attention to detail was amazing. I came in with a design and left with something I loved more than what I had in mind. I am hopeful to have found a salon in seattle that knows how to do a good dip manicure! read more

I'm not sure if this was a fluke as I only see positive reviews for this salon, but my shellac manicure chipped the very next day. It's been a week now and I have chips on 5 out of 10 nails. I ended up removing three nails entirely because the chipped nail polish kept snagging and chipping further. read more

Best nail experience ever!! The price was not overpriced for the quality of nails, the lady that did my nails was very skilled and did a beautiful french tip, the last places I've been cannot always do extra designs that look good and are so expensive. I am so glad I tried out this spa, I am definitely coming back :) read more
